I'm not perfectly clear on what you intend to question, but if
you want to know how to tetermine options for a certain port,
"make config" is used to set them.
Various port management software is also able to store predefined
options for port compilation in a central control file.
In order to find out more about ports, read "man ports" as it
explains everything very well.
There are also flags that are defined in /etc/make.conf, like
CFLAGS. Some ports allow setting OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS, e. g. mplayer.
You may be more clear in providing an example (example port and
flags, received message).
